“Syme was not only dead, he was abolished, an unperson.”

I have to find some sort of silver lining

So once again, the National League lost the All-Star game. That makes 13 straight years of non-winning, and 4 straight years of leading at some point, only to lose by 1 run. Now the game didn’t give me much to cheer about, but there was something that made me happy. Barack Obama threw the first pitch, and he actually made it to the plate, pretty much dead-center. If he had thrown in like the mayor of Cincinatti as shown in the video below, we never would have heard the end of it from the same crowd who decried Obama’s arugula, orange juice, bike helmet, etc.
